If you're unfamiliar with blending magical oils, be sure to read Magical Oils 101 before getting started.

This is a fairly simple blend of oils, and is designed to evoke the scents and smells of the winter holiday season. As you're mixing it, picture what it must have been like for ancestors, seeing the sunlight burst onto the horizon on the winter solstice, hundreds and even thousands of years ago.

Consider how cold they must have been, with only the glow of a fire to warm them, on the longest, darkest night of the year - and the relief they must have felt at the return of the sun.

To make Winter Solstice Oil, use 1/8 Cup grapeseed oil or other base oil of your choice. Add the following:

• 4 drops pine oil
• 2 drops orange oil
• 2 drops cedar oil
• 2 drops juniper oil
• 2 - 3 small lumps of frankincense, finely ground

As you blend the oils, visualize your intent, and take in the aroma. Know that this oil is sacred and magical. Label, date, and store in a cool, dark place. Use during your Yule celebrations to anoint participants or tools, or simmer on an aromatherapy burner.
